Abstract

Tricuspid annuloplasty with the flexible Duran ring may result in a physiologic repair while maintaining the dynamic morphology of the tricuspid annulus. A method for a durable three-dimensional tricuspid annular reconstruction, which retains the plasticity and orifice area of the tricuspid annulus, is described.
